A few of our faves from the day. Small Village in the Kowloon area of Hong Kong. Approximately 500 guests.

Low resolution artifacts and softness introduced by the shrinkage done by Photobucket where we host them.  Costanza style shrinkage no doubt.

They were the sweetest things ever.

and then their friends showed up and made sure they got it into my head really good that they “we love the USA, hi USA!” which is exactly what they were all saying here.

As for the Cuisine of the evening. There were about 600 people there. The entire village. Each table had one of these huge pots of food. in it was pretty much every part of the Chicken you could imagine and a few other things we never could quite figure out. Needless to say, not our favorite food but definately an experience.

Each table had a hot plate under these big bowls and was at a little picnic table. Constantly locals would come up to us and constantly try and show us some new food we might have been ignoring. Also pounding some local beers into us.

Great time.

The entrance to the Wedding, no clue what this said but I was assuming it was all about the Wedding.

If you have not tried them, DO. Our massage therapists use them in their lobby and we fell in love. Now we have them throughout the house.

Its nice to find a scented candle that REALLY does smell great and throw its scent through a whole room. Check em out if your into scents.

Basically its a giant international treasure hunt that is forever growing and you get to find and plant your own “caches” everywhere in the world you visit.

Today we kept is simple and decided to see if people were indeed Geocaching in our own neck of the woods. They were. Thousands of them! Our first Geocach took us to a Costco parking lot. Of all places to end up, this was awesome because not only did we find a Travelbug in the Geocach but we also were able to get a 24 pack of Toilet paper, 12 cans of Tuna and Dog food.

Here is our first find in our Geocaching journey. We plan to plant some of our own Geocaches as we travel throughout Asia and the West Indies this year. If you decide to do it, let us know and we will give you the coordinates and see how good you are. ;)
